[Intro — soft hum, broken static] i can’t feel one thing at a time… everything hits at once. ( “hold still… breathe… breathe…” ) [Verse 1] i’m angry at you / i’m sad you’re gone, ( “both true…” ) i miss what hurt / i hate holding on. ( “let go… let go…” ) my heart says “break,” my head says “heal,” my body’s numb but the tears feel real. i’m guilty / relieved / terrified / sore, ( “too much… too much…” ) i close one door and feel ten more. i’m fine, i’m not, i’m crashing slow — ( “keep breathing…” ) i wish i knew which way to go. [Pre-Chorus] i’m holding too many feelings in one small space, they glitch in my chest like corrupted data. i’m here but i’m lost, i’m loud but i’m fading — ( “fading… fading…” ) tell me why mixed hurts more than breaking. [Chorus] i’m stuck in the static, somewhere in between — ( “in between… in between…” ) not okay, not tragic, just a half-lit screen. i’m crying and empty, ( “empty…” ) i’m shaking and still, i’m lost in the feelings i’m not supposed to feel. i’m mixed, i’m messy, i’m breaking clean — ( “breaking… clean…” ) trapped in the static, lost in between. [Verse 2] i care too much / i care too little, ( “too little… too much…” ) i’m whole / i’m cracked right down the middle. i want to sleep / i want to scream, i want him gone / i want the dream. i feel alone with people near, ( “alone… even here…” ) i feel the truth but drown in fear. i hate the past i can’t undo, i hate that part still misses you. ( “yeah… i know…” ) [Pre-Chorus] my mind keeps buffering between wrong and right, ( “loading… loading…” ) my heart keeps flickering like a dying light. i’m here, i’m gone, i’m soft, i’m steel — ( “both… always both…” ) i don’t know which version’s real. [Chorus] i’m stuck in the static, somewhere in between — ( “in between…” ) not okay, not tragic, just a half-lit screen. i’m crying and empty, ( “empty… empty…” ) i’m shaking and still, i’m lost in the feelings i’m not supposed to feel. i’m mixed, i’m messy, i’m breaking clean — trapped in the static, ( “static… static…” ) lost in between. [Bridge] // error: too many emotions // cannot sort ( “don’t force it… don’t choose…” ) ( “just breathe…” ) [Outro] i’m not okay — but i’m here. ( “still here… still here…” ) and sometimes… that’s enough.
